Today is a big day

2021-01-20

Not just for the USA, but for the world. Having a sane executive in the whitehouse is important for a predictable world.

Sometimes we just need a pretty picture

Visiting mummies

2020-12-23

We visited the NS Natural History museum yesterday especially for the mummies.

They were a hit.

Weekend oatcakes

2020-12-20

I really love warm oatcakes with old cheddar cheese. The perfect afternoon snack.

I don’t want to go back

Between the time of me pouring the last pound of beans into the coffee grinder and boiling the kettle, I ordered another batch of coffee on my phone.

The Colombia is the go to, the Holiday Blend is something special

Not two hours later a bicycle courier shows up at the door with the order. This is amazing, and if you are in Halifax I highly recommend getting your coffee fix from Java Blend

There should never be a limit

What possible reason should there be a limit on the password! Maybe a computer science person that can tell me.

Supper last night

2020-12-06

I wasn’t sure what we going to do with this shallow fried chicken strips, but we figured it out.

If anyone has tips for making excellent breading I’m all ears. The seasoning was pretty good, but the breading was weak.

I marinated them in butter milk for a wash before breading and frying.

Another dead hard drive

2020-12-03

This workhorse has started making grinding noises. It was a drive that came out of a laptop that I upgraded to an SSD a few years ago.

Its making grinding noises

Since then I have been using it as an archive drive, something that I dump backups on and then put it in a fancy shoebox just in case a backup dies. Well, this is why you should ALWAYS have three copies for importance things:

The working copy (the one you use)
The on-site backup (or cloud backup)
The off-site backup (or a second cloud)

I like to keep a fourth “archive” backup, this is a backup that isn’t attached to a computer or network. A copy that will likely survive a massive EMP or CME.

I got out with the camera this weekend

2020-11-30

I was able to get out to take some pictures with my camera this weekend, but I haven’t had a chance to look at them let alone edit them.

This shot is from early in the summer of a little bird eating at the feeder, by fall they were eating at the sunflowers.
